Tak Bai victims fret as deadline loomsListen to this articleRangsiman RomeThe People's Party (PP) has warned that if the statute of limitations in the case concerning the Tak Bai massacre expires without justice being seen to be served, it will further inflate concerns that the nation's legal system operates on double standards. He was referring to the indictment in the Criminal Court of the former senior officials connected to the massacre that occurred in Narathiwat's Tak Bai district on Oct 25, 2004. Some of the suspects, including Pheu Thai Party list MP Gen Pisal Wattanawongkiri, have not reported to the court to acknowledge the indictment. Gen Pisal served as the commander of the Fourth Army Region that was involved in the Tak Bai massacre, which occurred when security forces dispersed a rally in front of the police station in Tak Bai district. "More and more people are getting the impression they are experiencing deja vu under the current Pheu Thai administration," he said.
